xmms equalizer doesn't equalize
I just reinstalled my debian system and upgraded to woody. Previously,
the equalizer in XMMS worked just fine - I could raise the bass, lower
the highs, mess with the preamp level. Now when I turn the eq on and
change the settings, there is no effect. My /dev/dsp is working to some
extent though, as I can play wav and mp3 files just fine.
I thought maybe one of the the audio devices in /dev might not have the
proper permissions, so I changed them all to crw-rw-rw-:
$ ls -l /dev/* | grep audio

My sound card is a Creative Ensoniq 1371 which I compiled in
Linux-2.4.0test8. Any idea of what I could do?
Thanks,
